Updated: Top 12 Team Tenures

Update: Now with actual order based on the numbers I'm using. D'oh!

With the arrival of Rogue, this strikes me as an opportune time to update the longest-serving X-Men, based on the amount of time that appears to have passed. Once again, each characters's time on the team will be given in the format (years, months, weeks, days).

=11. Polaris (1,1,3,5)

=11. Havok (1,1,3,5)

10. Banshee (1,1,2,0)

9. Wolverine (2,0,0,6) [1]

=6. Storm (2,0,3,0)

=6. Nightcrawler (2,0,3,0)

=6. Colossus (2,0,3,0)

5. Beast (2,6,0,6)

4. Marvel Girl (3,7,4,1)

3. Angel (3,8,1,4)

2. Iceman (3,8,2,3)

1. Cyclops (5,3,2,6) [2]

Sprite, it transpires, is not quite a year into her time in the mansion (by "not quite", I mean "four days off"), so she's just missed out this time.

[1] I assume here that Wolverine left the team immediately after UXM #168 so as to begin the preparations for his marriage to Mariko.

[2] Assuming Cyclops left just after returning to Earth, which seems to be what happened.
